Try this.....

YOUR AGE WITH CHOCOLATES

DO NOT GO STRAIGHT TO THE END ...
It will only take a minute
Do the maths as you read the instructions
Don’t read the end until you have done all the calculations
I promise it is not a waste of time, you will find this amusing.

1. How many times a week do you fancy eating chocolate?
(Choose between 1 and 9)

2. Multiply that number by 2

3. Add 5

4. Multiply by 50 – go on, get that calculator out!

5. If you have had your birthday in 2006, add 1756. If your birthday is still to come, add 1755.

6 Now take away the year you were born.

You should have a three digit number. The first is the number of time you fancy eating chocolate in a week.

The other two digits are ...

YOUR AGE!!!

2006 IS THE ONLY YEAR IN ALL ETERNITY WHEN THIS WORKS. SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS WHILE IT WORKS!

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Hi Tigger,
I guess the point is that simple maths is not my forte.
But give me a reservoir holding 12,000,000 gallons
that is 12ft deep and ask me what is the surface area covered with the answer expressed in acres to two decimal points is more to my style.
Apart from that I was only joking in the first place!!

Hey, that's cool !

JB, they say "You're as young as you feel, or indeed, the woman you're feeling"...

i got so far but have no calculator!

Jopsy, click start, all programs, accessories, calculator. DOH. :shock:

Oops, less beer.

Hi Peter,
I didn't realise that the water you were complaining you had to drink was the inkaholic type!!

Well the main ingerdient is water JB, isn't it? :oops:

It has a side affect, in that it helps numb the pain.

Anyway, back on topic, this calculator of Tiggers is useless.

I don't know about you, but thinking about chocolate that rarely in 24 hours. No way. :shock:
